A new project in 2005, Security and Terrorism in Africa examines
how Africa fits into the global terrorism and counter-terrorism
equations post-9/11. It focuses on four key areas of research: Are
there factors that make African states more or less prone to
terrorism? What factors serve to radicalise states and societies?
What can be done to address this internally? What can be achieved
through external engagement?
Specific research involves country and regional case studies on
the particular natures of Islam in the African context and the
extent to which it is susceptible to external influence; terrorism
and counter-terrorism activity in the Horn and Sahel regions; and
the potential for engagement by African states in international
counter-terrorism and non-proliferation policy in bridging the gap
between the West and problematic states and regions, including
Pakistan, North Korea, Syria and Iran. The project involves
extensive liaison with African and foreign security specialists and
policy-makers and the international academic community to develop a
widening network of expertise on global security and terrorism
issues.
